A LOCAL children’s hospice is offering a bucket list event this summer that will raise money to help with the care they provide.
Places are filling up fast for the 'Sunrise Trek' up Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) by Hope House and Tŷ Gobaith in the early hours of Sunday, July 23.
The unique experience will give participants a chance to watch the day break over the stunning North Wales landscape from the top of Wales’ highest mountain.
Event organiser, Andy Everley said: “Lace up your boots and come join us on an exhilarating and unforgettable sunrise hike up the highest mountain in Wales, Yr Wyddfa.
“We are excited to announce that also included as part of your registration is this custom Buff head scarf (pictured), but you will need to sign up and summit Yr Wyddfa to see what is on the other side.
“We are a lifeline for children and families during distressing and difficult times, and in order to ensure that we can be here for everyone who needs us, it is vital that our local community help in whatever way they can, now and in the future”
